As hundreds of Catholic faithful visit the late Pope Francis's final resting place at the 16th-century-old Santa Maria Maggiore (Saint Mary Major), the tomb is simple and immaculately constructed with marble, with the late pope's pectoral cross on the soft-lit wall.

On it, as it was in his spiritual testament, is an inscription of only the word 'Franciscus'. A single white rose lies on top of the tomb.
